User roles define what information each user can view or edit * Aid in easy storage and retrieval of data * Reduce repetitive duplicate input * Improve the ease of report writing * Improve communication between users In a CMS, data can be defined as nearly anything - documents, movies, pictures, phone numbers, scientific data, etc. CMSs are frequently used for storing, controlling, revising, semantically enriching, and publishing documentation.
